"Why is the Infinite Dragon God here?"
Gabriel, who was with Beelzebub, also saw the truth through the mirror space and felt a headache at yet another heavyweight showing up.
Moreover, both she and Beelzebub were interested in the human attacking in front of the Infinite Dragon God. Judging by appearances, Ophis had no hostility toward him.

At the restaurant, Eu and the others met Haruna and Asia, who had been sent out by Raize. After figuring out what was going on, they too noticed the anomaly outside.
Together with Nene and Chris, they positioned themselves somewhere they could observe, clicking their tongues at the battle in the otherworld.
"Mm… even the Infinite Dragon God has shown up. Your boyfriend is actually fighting that kind of monster."
Chris hugged a wine bottle. Despite the drunken blush on her face, her eyes were completely clear, shining brightly as she watched the battle in the mirror space.
The quality of energy Raize displayed, as well as his sheer physical power, left Chris and Nene astonished. Was this really a level humans could reach?
Calling him a humanoid dragon wouldn't be an exaggeration.

"Raize… has already reached this level?"
Vali, who had arrived with his teammates, had also come to help Raize. After all, he wasn't particularly close to the other members of the Khaos Brigade—naturally, he would help Raize.
But after meeting up with Kuroka, he learned that he was too late—the fight had already moved into an otherworld. To the battle-crazed Vali, this felt like missing out on a fortune.
He and his companions also watched the increasingly superhuman battle from a distance, their blood heating up at Raize's even more outrageous combat power.
Look at his teammate's expression—he was clearly enjoying the fight with the Infinite Dragon God. Vali himself yearned to battle the strongest as well.
Just looking at Raize's expression, you could tell how exhilarating it was.
"Hey, hey, Vali, shouldn't we go in and stop Raize and Ophis? Ophis is being used by those bastards, you know!"
Seeing Vali's blazing gaze, Kuroka felt a surge of irritation. You're here to help, you know! How can you just watch the show?
Raize was strong, but there was still a huge gap between him and Ophis. That was a powerhouse from an entirely different dimension than beings like them.
"You're so noisy, black cat. Anyone with eyes can see Ophis has no hostility toward Raize. What are you panicking for?"
Bikou was also enjoying the show. Hearing Kuroka interrupt them, he impatiently dug at his ear.
The Pendragon siblings exchanged strange looks at the somewhat anxious Kuroka, then looked back at Raize in the otherworld and considered Kuroka's personality.
After exchanging glances, they immediately understood why this cat was so anxious about Raize.
"Even if Ophis has no malice, trying to fight the Infinite Dragon God is basically asking to get beaten up, right?"
Kuroka said stubbornly, feeling sulky.
Their team knew Ophis's temperament fairly well. Seeing how strong Raize was, she had definitely taken an interest in him and wanted to keep him by her side.
It was a pure, harmless desire. Bikou didn't dislike Ophis's willfulness.
After all, their team had no ill intentions toward Ophis. When Vali was still with the Khaos Brigade, he treated Ophis well and never coveted her power.
As for those in the Khaos Brigade who coveted Ophis's "snake," they felt only contempt and disdain—useless scum who took benefits without doing any work.
Vali had joined the Khaos Brigade to challenge strong opponents. He had no interest in external things like Ophis's snake.

"Necromancer, if it's the Infinite Dragon God… Raize can't win, right?"
Haruna and Asia glanced at Kuroka's group in the distance, then silently watched the battle in the mirror space. Although Raize held the initiative, his opponent was still the world's apex existence—the Infinite Dragon God.
That little girl, in Haruna's eyes, showed no sense of urgency at all in the face of Raize's violent onslaught, casually neutralizing his attacks or directly tanking his terrifying power.
[Aize hasn't gone all out. That Infinite Dragon God has no hostility toward him.]
Eu blinked her azure eyes as she watched Raize in the mirror space, lifting her small notebook slightly to explain to Haruna.
She and Sei were the ones who understood Raize best. Since Raize wasn't in danger, there was no need to worry.
Moreover, Raize hadn't used those peculiar, overbearing abilities yet. If he did, it wasn't impossible for him to contend with the Infinite Dragon God to some extent.
Just then, in the eyes of the onlookers, Raize suddenly halted his increasingly unrestrained release of power inside the mirror space.
Ophis blinked, a faint smile on her lips as she said to Raize:
"You have recognized the gap. Are you going to concede?"
Ophis was somewhat pleased with the power Raize had displayed so far. From beginning to end, she had never fought seriously—she had merely been playing with him.
She could tell that this embryo wanted to vent his power. To achieve her own goal, Ophis naturally wouldn't refuse such a small request from someone she favored.
"Ah… that was my discourtesy. I enjoyed myself unilaterally and made you feel like I was just a troublesome child."
After stopping, Raize smiled lightly and spoke apologetically to Ophis. After fighting for a while, he had come to understand the gap between himself and such a powerhouse.
Continuing to hold back would be an insult to both of them.
"I do not mind." Ophis gently shook her head, then looked at Raize with anticipation. "If accompanying you in battle can make you stronger, I am willing to spend a great deal of time with you—as long as you are willing to help me."
During their fight, Ophis had discovered one aspect of Raize—that the angrier he became, the stronger he grew. That psychic power seemed to have no visible limit.
If the embryo she favored could grow stronger, Ophis would be more than happy to see Raize mature faster.
"Cute little dragon, you really are purely adorable."
In response to Ophis's sincere, unpretentious words, Raize revealed a genuine smile. Her purity was both heart-wrenching and endearing.
"To respond to that adorable purity of yours, I'll show you power that will surprise you even more."
As Raize spoke, his azure eyes were instantly dyed with a wild, sacred golden hue. With a casual lift of his hand, a long spear familiar to Ophis appeared.
That spear—suddenly appearing in Raize's hand and radiating boundless holy aura—also made Gabriel and Beelzebub outside the otherworld frown slightly, surprise flashing through their eyes.
Ophis frowned faintly as she looked at the spear in Raize's hand, a hint of disappointment in her voice:
"So… Cao Cao has already been defeated? But the power of the True Longinus cannot strike me. Even if the God of Bible were alive, it would not be possible."
The weapon in Raize's hand was none other than the True Longinus that had originally belonged to Cao Cao. However, with Cao Cao having perished within Raize's Universe of Gold, the sacred gear could no longer be transferred through the Heavenly system.
